Section 2 Leaving the Palace (2)

After the game is over, after a short break, it's time to sit down and eat the birthday wine.

Before entering the table, I secretly warned the prince: "You are not allowed to drink again except for toasting my father and mother today, if you are drunk, I will never take you to the street." ”

In order to go out on the street, of course, he agreed to everything. Sure enough, I didn't eat any wine. Because the prince was still young and his status was too noble, no one dared to force him to drink.

Soon after lunch, the prince and I left the main hall under the pretext that we wanted to go back to our room to change our clothes.

When I passed by King Qi's side, I lowered my head and didn't look at him. Just like today at the Kemari competition, I tried to turn my eyes back from him to my own husband as much as possible.

I confess that I still love him, he is the fire in my heart and the sword hanging in my heart. The sword was already hanging there, and I had no choice but to try to avoid the sharp blade and not let it cut me.

Walking to the corridor outside the main hall, I saw Jia Quan walking towards me with a girl, and when she saw me, Jia Quan smiled and said, "What, the little couple is going back to the room to whisper." ”

I didn't want to pay attention to her, and she said, "The banquet you held the other day was really good, and the food was very exquisite, but unfortunately I have no appetite for anything lately, and my mood is always restless." His Royal Highness King Qi has tried his best to amuse me these days. I will go to your banquet that day, and he said that he would take me to relax, otherwise I don't want to move, I just want to lie down every day. Speaking of this, she chuckled and said, "As a result, after coming back, he was healed by Mrs. Zhang and said, "That kind of place is so noisy, how can you take me there?" ”

What is she implying for? Is she pregnant?

"Then you have to pay more attention to your body, when you are just pregnant, you can't move around, for fear of moving the fetus." I said tentatively.

"It turns out that my sister also understands this, and Doctor Zhang said the same. Could it be ......", she looked at my belly, "Sister, are you pregnant too?" ”

"No, I haven't."

"Then you have to hurry up, I heard that there is a Xie Cairen in your East Palace who is already pregnant with the prince's child, and she is about to give birth, in case she gives birth to a son and the eldest son, it will be difficult for my sister to do it in the future."

"Are you done rambling?" A voice said to Jia Quan very unceremoniously.

I jerked my head up, only to find that the prince had already stood in front of me, standing between me and Jia Quan as if he wanted to protect me.

Tears welled up in my eyes. Jia Quan's pregnancy gave me a huge shock, and the prince's protective actions gave me an even bigger impact.

He was just a fool in the eyes of the world, and in my eyes he was just a child who would never grow up, and I thought that I would always be the only one to protect him. But at the critical moment, this stupid child in the eyes of the world wanted to protect me.

Jia Quan was stunned at first, but after coming back to her senses, her lips trembled, and she shouted "His Royal Highness King Qi" with great grievances and walked towards the main hall.

I didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I pulled the prince and left the land of right and wrong quickly.

Although I didn't believe that King Qi would come to accuse us of bullying his pregnant wife for the sake of her few words, I was really afraid of coming into conflict with him head-on. I couldn't, I could never put myself in opposition to himβ€”even though I had put myself in opposition to him in a sense from the day I married the Prince.

As soon as the prince, who was trotted all the way by me, entered the room, he said in a fierce voice: "When I become the emperor, I will send her to the prison, and see if she dares to bully you!" ”

I was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, no, she didn't bully me." Besides, she is your aunt, the princess of your uncle King Qi, how can you put her in prison? ”

"I don't care, whoever bullies you, I'll put her in prison."

I couldn't hold back my tears. His words, although they sounded more like a child's angry words, but there was a certain sincerity in his words, could it be that the prince didn't understand feelings at all as I used to understand?

Forget it, I don't want to think so much, let's hurry up and go to the street first, since I promised him, I have to fulfill my promise. The result of not talking to a child is terrible, he will pestering you to call your father and mother.

And, I really want to take him out for a walk. His identity is admired by everyone, but he also pays the price for this enviable identity. He has everything that ordinary people can't imagine, but he has also lost a lot of ordinary people's happiness. For example, when he grew so big, he had never gone out alone, let alone played on the street alone.

Hurriedly helped him change into civilian clothes, brought two skilled guards, and then brought Xiaocui, and a group of five of us slipped out of the back door.

When he walked out the back door and saw the street scene outside, the prince's face was extremely excited. My heart ached.

The front door of my house is Tongque Street, and the back door is Wuyi Lane. The people living in this neighborhood are all dignitaries, so the alleys are very spacious and clean, the ground is full of bluestone paving, and there are not many pedestrians. Because this is a purely residential area, there is no business, let alone martial arts.

It should be safer to take the prince for a walk here. I was actually very conflicted, I wanted to take him to the real downtown area, but I was afraid that something would happen.

Before he had walked a few steps, the prince was already unhappy: "Why is it so deserted here, I don't see a single stall, nor do I see fighting crickets or roosters." ”

Of course there isn't one, but I still said, "It's noon, eat and eat, or take a nap, the streets are always deserted at this time." ”

"But why are there high walls on both sides of this place, and I don't see a single restaurant or shop...... You're lying to me, aren't you? It's not a street at all, it's just a small alley. He looked at me angrily with accusatory eyes. Yes, it's anger, not grief.

Alas, it seems that I can't coax it today, this guy, who is clever for a while and stupid for a while, doesn't know if he's really naΓ―ve or fake.

I couldn't help it, so I discussed with the two guards and told them to follow closely and pay more attention, and then, we walked through Wuyi Lane and came to the bustling Tongque Street.

Luoyang has a total of eight streets, nine mo, eight city gates, nine cities in the east and west, and one hundred Luli. Among them, Tongque Street is the widest and most prosperous street, and the largest restaurant in Luoyang, the largest money village and cloth village are concentrated here. The mantra used by local people to flatter others in doing business and making a fortune is: "I wish your family a prosperous business, and open your shop on Tongque Street." "Opening a store on Tongque Street is already a symbol of success in itself.

But Tongque Street is also a traffic artery, from time to time there will be official sedan chairs shouting, there are luxury carriages galloping by, dragging those dignitaries into the restaurants and villages. So I only took the prince around a little, and simply took him to the East Gate Market, the largest of the nine eastern and western cities.

When the prince arrived here, his eyes really lit up, probably this place was in line with the setting of the street scene in his mind. The quietness of Wuyi Lane and the momentum of Tongque Street are not what he really yearns for, what he yearns for is the pure market flavor of Dongmen Market.

It was full of vendors, shouting everywhere, and groups of people gathered in circles here and there, watching all kinds of juggling.

The prince had little interest in hawkers, he was interested in juggling. He squeezed in one circle after another, and each one watched with relish. After walking like this for a while, he finally squeezed into a place that surprised him greatly: a field of fighting crickets.

As a result, the most difficult thing happened: he took a fancy to today's champion cricket, and he couldn't move his feet, and his eyes bulged and he had to buy it.

The owner of the cricket is also a fine character, although the prince's dress is ordinary, but listening to his talking energy, it is obviously an idiot young master who has never been out in the courtyard of the deep house. With a roll of his eyes, he asked for 3,000 taels of silver.

When Xiaocui heard this, she was furious on the spot, and said quickly: "Are you mistaken, last year's 'cricket king' who won the national championship, my young lady only spent 5,000 taels to buy it." You are a so-called "champion" who has fought a few casual battles in the bazaar, and you dare to open 3,000 taels? I think you might as well go and grab the money. ”

Now it's okay, and everyone's eyes on the cricket field all of a sudden shot at once. This is a field for fighting crickets, and all the people in it are cricket fans, and everyone knows those famous crickets well. Who bought the overall champion of last year's national competition, 'Cricket King', who didn't know.

So, this "Miss My Family? Isn't it the former Prime Minister's Miss and the current Crown Princess? And the beautiful and extraordinary, extravagant and stupid young man beside her is not ...... Today's Prince!?
